1 . You have really emerged as a contributor for the Mustangs in your final season . How have you worked to earn your spot on the team and one of the top teams in 2A ? I have earned my spot on this very accomplished Mustangs team by the hard work I ’ ve put in since I was little . From my first practice to now I have been working hard and dedicated myself to basketball to become the player I am today .
2 . Coach Layne refers to you as the captain . How much confidence does that instill in you as a player ? To me , the captain is just another teammate or another player that represents this team . It does bring a great amount of confidence that my coach trusts me , not just on the court to play the right way , but off the court to carry and represent my team in the best way possible . 3 . Speaking of Coach Layne , what has it been like playing under him ? Playing under Coach Layne has grown me as a player and as a person . For this being his first year of coaching he has been very open to our ideas of what sets and defenses we should run other teams while also using his old style of playing to lead us to all of our victories .
4 . How does this season compare to the last few seasons with a different coach ? This season has felt very special to me . Our team in itself has become more like a family under coach Layne , rather than just teammates . We have had more team bonding experiences this year which has created more chemistry on the basketball court .
5 . You guys had a great year last season . You went undefeated in the conference and made a run in the state tournament . What was that experience like ? Our team last year was a once in a lifetime experience that not many people have the honor to be a part of . We rarely went into a game thinking we were the underdogs and that alone was a great feeling to have . Sadly , it didn ’ t end how we were hoping but that team will always be special to me .
6 . You guys were doubted by many going into this season . Now you control your own destiny in terms of winning the conference once again . What ’ s it like to prove everyone wrong and show that you guys are still the best ?
